PASS South Over The Mountain 150 Postponed Due To Weather, Gas Shortage

CHARLOTTE, NC (September 25) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President
Tom Mayberry and Hickory Motor Speedway promoter Sherry Clifton agreed
Thursday to postpone Saturday night's PASS South Super Late Model
event due to weather concerns and a gas shortage in western North
Carolina. The possibility of rescheduling the Over The Mountain 150
is being looked upon, but a date has yet to be announced.

Weather forecasters have increased the chance of precipitation in the
Hickory, N.C. to 60 percent on Saturday because of a low pressure
system situated off the coast of North Carolina. Circumstances have
been further complicated in part due to a severe gas shortage in
western North Carolina. North Carolina Governor Mike Easley announced
late Wednesday that relief is coming to the area, but it is unclear
how much gas can be freed up from the Tennessee and Spartanburg, S.C.
terminals because those areas are experiencing gas supply shortages as
well.

"We would like to thank Sherry Clifton and everybody involved in their
understanding during this tough situation," said Mayberry. "But, you
need gas to travel and you need gas to race, and with the weather
situation factored in, we didn't feel like it was fair to put our fans
and teams in jeopardy."

PASS South Super Late Model action returns on Saturday, October 18thth
for the 2nd Annual Howler 150 at the Greenville-Pickens Speedway. The
Howler will be the final race of the PASS National Series.
